    If you are looking for an amazing Irish full Breakfast in Clontarf, Dublin , Ireland look no further! Kennedy’s Food Store and Deli located on Vernon Avenue serves the most amazing full Irish Breakfast. Upon Entering Kennedy’s of Clontarf my family and I were made feel very welcome and were directed up stairs. We were immediately seated to a table up stairs and immediately were taken care of by the amazing staff. They immediately brought us fresh water and menus . We all ordered the full Irish Breakfast and various breads for the table. The water tasted so fresh and was presented in really nice glass vases. The bread was so fresh. It was not long after after we were served fresh coffee and tea. The staff continuously checked on us but not to the point of being annoying. They made us all feel very welcome. They all took a lot of pride in their establishment, jobs and taking care of their customers. Our Irish Breakfasts all arrived in great timing and everyone enjoyed them. The Black, White Pudding, Eggs and Irish Sausages were absolutely delicious. It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland, served in with the US Marines all over the world, and traveled all over the United States. I definitely know a great place for Breakfast. Kennedy’s of Clontarf is absolutely amazing and met my expectations of how an Irish Full Breakfast should be served and presented. The establishment is very clean and has very clean restrooms. If you are from Clontarf and have not being home in a while. Kennedy’s occupies the formed Tighe’s Butcher Shop that had a major presence in the area for many years. I definitely will be returning to Kennedy’s of Clontarf upon my return to Ireland. This establishment rates ten stars and more!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Excellent Experience from upon entering the establishment till we left.

    Overpriced and poor quality. Went there for a breakfast bap. The Bap is priced at 8 quid, you then have to add Sausages and Black pudding for an extra 2.50 each. So all in all 8 quid for a glorified Bacon Butty and an extra 5 quid for items that should be there in the first place. Definitely not worth the price nor the rip off of having to pay an extra 5 quid to have the essentials of an already overpriced breakfast bap.

    I ordered five platters of sandwiches & wraps. They were acclaimed amazing by all at my gathering. Thanks to all in Kennedy’s.

    You wouldnt want to be in a hurry...No effort made. Don't forget to ask for milk for your coffee if you take it, none supplied.. and then maybe something to stir it with would be helpful too. Just bemused by the blasé nature.:(

    Yesterday the staff taking care of upstairs (blond young lady) was extremely rude and she didn't listen us what we have ordered. Some examples: I ordered 2 capuccinos and said I do not want chocolate on top, both coffees served with chocolate. I asked for brown sugar and had to remind two times to get it. The bill brought to the table without me asking or any explanation why it is brought, for example it is closing time etc. I wanted to use the toilet upstairs and with a rude voice tone she said I can not use that one, need to use the one downstairs. And after all while leaving she staired at me with a sarcastic and threatining way of looking. I felt unwelcomed and I will never go there again. I also shared this experience with chief and she said she realised her behaviours and will report to the manager, hope she does.

    Really nice spot for breakfast. Limited vegetarian options but the avocado/egg on toast was delicious. If passing by and it looks full there is also an upstairs with more seating.

  • 5/5 Oleksii B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Very cozy. It has seating on the upper floor. Highly recommend the homemade scones and the piri-piri chicken sandwich (grilled). There are loads of nice treats to take home with you. Kennedy's offer both eating in and to-go.

    Really like the breakfast menu, always a nice spot to pop in for food and coffees. I have come here for lunch a few times but would pick breakfast over lunch. Very relaxing atmosphere. Staff are lovely too!

    Situated between a betting shop and a another restaurant, Kennedy's can be easily missed out. But don't. It is a hidden gem. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They also very accommodating. The place itself is very nicely decorated and has a variety of seating options to suit all group sizes. All the food options looked and smelt great. There are also a wide range of small snacks, light bites and a soup of the day.

    Lovely little place with indoor upstairs & downstairs seating and table service. Friendly staff, complying with all current standards. Table was desinfected before seating. Covid cert + ID checked. 👍 We had a toasted version of their Wicklow Ham & Brie sandwich (pickled red onion, sauce etc.) Absolutely delicious how the flavours combined. Big pot of tea 👍 perfect Americano. Will defo visit again.

    We love this place! Location is great and interior is clean and well presented. We had an amazing full Irish breakfast on Saturday. Food and coffee were really good! Staff are lovely, always smiling and they made us feel very welcome, especially the manager who attended us with great professionalism, attention and humor creating a comfortable and friendly energy. A big thank you! :) I don’t normally posts reviews but it exceed our expectations and 5 stars are well deserved!

    I stopped by Kennedy's while on a little staycation in Clontarf with my Mum and I was so pleased to find vegan options on their lunch menu! But I was especially blown away by their selection of vegan treats- so much so that I tried both their dark chocolate and pear roll and their apple and cinnamon roll, both to die for. The atmosphere was cosy and laid-back and the staff absolutely lovely! I totally recommend Kennedy's for a nice meal or afternoon tea!

🫤 €8.95 for mini breakfast. Everything was over cooked. Latte was really good and 1 slice of sourdough bread. Expectations were high as the supermarket is great. Disappointing. Manager is nice.
